Same name? - Heartless - 05-30-2008
Right, so people have said it's not possible to have the same name for 2 characters, but...

yes, the l's are not capital I's, but here's the interesting stuff.
I did that then was surprised, so tried to do it do a character from another account, then it said that name was already taken. Ok, so this led me to believe that you can make the same name for characters on the same account? Can someone confirm that?
Well anyways, I was in my fighter fighting a corsair gunboat and I died. So I hit the re-spawn button to load up on bots and bats and log off. But then when I do hit respawn, I'm suddenly my bomber and not the fighter anymore...
So what's going on?
Same name? - Eppy - 05-30-2008
Nobody really knows how this works. The =CR= have done it with Alcippe, but they used invisible characters, which are only legal by Admin permission. You will VERY rarely get a double name like this by natural means. I had two ships named Eppy's.Cash.Cow at one time, but never seen it since, and there are probably fourteen or fifteen I've forgotten. You can also occasionally see proper spaces in names instead of underscores...
Same name? - Epholl - 05-30-2008
These kind of problems once occured soon after the player database was hacked and deleted. The old backups contained characters, that were deleted + New ones were made, meaning 2 chars witth he same name appeared. This might be your cause.
On the =CR= note: We do have 7 Alccippes (The max we can have is 128:P), but those can be recognised via ioncross, if you know which one is which one...
Same name? - Heartless - 05-30-2008
I aint hack notin'!
Would the game notice anything if I changed one of the l's to a capital i? And would that still "mess me up", or am I better off adding a . after one of them for safety?
Thanks.

Both are okay. But that would mean you would have to remake one of those chars though.
Same name? - Boss - 05-30-2008
Umm, Swissy, the second is named [QCO]Oliver,Pellew, with a comma. The first is [QCO]Oliver.Pellew, with a period.
At least, that's what it looks like. (crummy low-res images. >.>)

Here, click on it. It will lead to my xfire where you can make it bigger, the names are exactly the same.

I could just put in a name change request, but I think first I'd find out how the other QCRF bomber have theirs differed from ther fighters.
edit- And while you're at it, check out my other pictures, I have a nice gallery, hahaha!

Note to self: pirate Ch.ConFed.Shipping. :P
It still looks like one's a comma. Is it a comma?
Same name? - Heartless - 05-31-2008
no, click on it, then hit "larger image" or whatever it says to make the picture bigger.

Been there, done that, still have the credits.:cool:
Ole' Swiss didn't even pull the old, "Hey, I'm in your faction!" nonsense on us. Good for him that he didn't, or he wouldn't have been for long.
